Register of Geographical Names – INSPIRE

Description

The State Survey and Real Estate Cadastre Act (OG 112/18) stipulates that the State Geodetic Administration is the central state administration body responsible for maintaining and maintaining the Register of Geographical Names (RGI) in the Republic of Croatia. The content, manner of keeping and maintaining the RGI is prescribed by the Ordinance on the Register of Geographical Names (OG 59/20). RGI is an online database in which data on geographical names are recorded and maintained in the territory of the Republic of Croatia. It is the official basis for collecting, recording, processing, presenting, understanding, connecting, researching and publishing various space data, such as creating different maps, statistics related to space, articles, etc. It can be used by public authorities, private sector, international organisations and legal and natural persons. The data have been harmonised in accordance with the INSPIRE theme “Geographical Names” and therefore contain the dotted geometry of named places (NamedPlace) that have an associated geographical name in the form of their own noun and other attributes associated with that geographical name such as writing names, language, status of names, name source, and the type of object to which these named objects belong, e.g. geographical units, relief forms, land and sea waters, islands and peninsulas, buildings, areas, settlements, roads. Geographical names shall be indicated in addition to the points (designated places) with spatial coordinates in the geodetic reference system of the Republic of Croatia (HTRS96/TM) indicating the exact location of the point geographical object or indicating the geometric centre of the areal or linear object. Data collection took place through several phases (2004-2008, 2008-2010 and 2011-2019), and in 2013 a geoinformation system consisting of a network application and a spatial database was finally developed. Data are available for viewing and downloading via INSPIRE harmonised network services.
